Negotiators for UPS and the Teamsters union have reached a tentative agreement on a crucial issue in their contract talks: The shipping giant has finally agreed that new delivery vans will include air conditioning, starting with vans purchased next year... the company agreed to equip all larger delivery vehicles, smaller sprinter vans, and all of UPS’ most recognizable brown package vans purchased after Jan. 1, 2024 with in-cab air conditioning systems.

Update. Вот ей богу, когда писал пост я ешё не заглядывал в новости. И что я вижу?

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida has signed a public letter calling for the reinvigoration of collective bargaining and praising the German approach, in which labor unions play a larger role in the economy. Rubio this month published a book, “Decades of Decadence,” that criticizes the past 30 years of globalization.

Вообще эта рассылка Таймс про то что капитализм, по мнению группы видных республиканцев (Cotton, Rubio, Vance and Young), сейчас не работает. Среди предлагаемых мер (от респов, FFS!):

- a guaranteed right for workers to organize and industrywide bargaining, which could increase the number of union contracts — and raise wages.
- a financial transaction tax, meant to reduce Wall Street trading that makes people rich without making the economy more productive.
- a monthly child benefit of around $300, as well as changes to Medicare and Social Security to recognize the work done by stay-at-home parents.
- restrict noncompete agreements, which companies use to prevent their employees from leaving for jobs at a competitor.
- claw back executive pay at failed banks

В общем, это всё хорошие новости. Может они когда-нибудь и переродятся во что-то вменяемое.
